I'm 6'5" and spent the last year with limit time to train. I favoured the gym as I could go five times a week, put in a 45-50 minute session and get back, plus easy running three to four times a week. My body fat has risen approx 10% and I've bulked up, so time to cut again. I'm targeting a race weight of 200 lbs (90 kgs) and 7-8% bf.

I'm assuming maintenance calories for 200 lbs at approx 2,500 kcal. For the past three weeks I've been eating a 2,500 kcal diet giving the below splits of carbs, fat and protein. I eat the same thing day after day, which sounds horrendous but I don't seem to mind and it takes thinking about food out of the equation, plus I've put together meals based on what is sold in my local supermarket and have designed what I eat around either half pack or full pack, etc... so it's very easy to live by and I feel satiated. Seems to be working well although I could probably do with a bit more lunch, but then I move the pineapple and yoghurt forward a bit and have dinner early.

At some point my metabolism is going to slow down and the weight loss will stall. At this point I'll increase my calories to my current weight maintenance calories (say 2800 kcal) and then start reducing down again by 100 kcal a week just to give the metabolism a bit of bump. Once weight is down, I'll then adjust calories by adding fat (nut butter/Udo's oil) and carbs (brown rice) to make up the shortfall.

As the season progresses and my weight comes down, then intensity goes up, I'll reduce protein, increase fat and carbs, and slightly trade off fat to add carbs.

Anything huge you'd change?
